... that samples of moon rock and lunar dust soil from the Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 missions, mounted on wooden plaque displays especially for Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Honduras, Ireland, Malta, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Romania, Spain, and Sweden, plus the states of Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii (pictured), Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and West Virginia, were later reported missing by many of the recipients?
Used in all location articles (need to evaluate for WP:CWW):
All created on November 2 (before first non-Coldwell edit to shared main articles)
@ MER-C and Moneytrees: this is going to be fun.
Three articles were created and used as background/history information in 27 other articles. One might ask why the main content wasn't just transcluded to the 27 sub-articles, but it appears that word count at DYK came in to play.
I will note that, if you come across a fairly recent (less than 6 months) email being used as a reference, those would probably meet revdelete and/or suppression thresholds. It's just that the longer things are out there, the less effective those tools are in addressing the issue, and simple removal from the article is probably the best bet. Hope this helps.

ADDENDUM: While I'm pretty confident of what I've said here, I'm going to refer this question to the Oversighters as a group, so you may get some additional thoughts on this topic posted here. Risker ( talk) 02:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
@ Primefac: personal correspondence in the first version of New York lunar sample displays. I haven't removed it yet, so the entire history can be revdel'd. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 23:47, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
So far (six and a half hours [5]), I have cleaned two of the three main articles ( Apollo 11 lunar sample display and Lunar basalt 70017). I found the usual mix of OR, failed verification, misrepresented sources, very close paraphrasing to borderline cut-and-paste copyvio, and unattributed public domain text (along with lots of unnecessary wording looking to be padding for DYK purposes).
After cleaning (which left not much), I created Template:Apollo 11 lunar sample display with clean content for Apollo 11, and replaced the Apollo 11 content at the 27 sub-articles with the template transcluded. So now it's all in one place (where it probably should have been to begin with) and at the least the Apollo 11 section of the 27 sub-articles is clean.
I have not checked the 27 sub-articles for WP:CWW, as it appears on the surface that all copied content was written by the same editor (see above).
Tomorrow I will do the same with the Apollo 17 content (check for copyright, clean, and put clean content in to a template to transclude the other 27).
And after that, each of the 27 sub-articles still has to be examined. This was gaming of DYK that never should have happened; the articles are padded with unnecessary wording just to meet the DYK limit, and I hope there is less copyvio in the sub-articles.

WP:CWW (not Coldwell) at Colombia lunar sample displays; check others in template and deal with those. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 15:12, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
